Microsoft very well could have generated a great deal of buzz with the Jerry Seinfeld commercials if they weren't so weird and borderline terrible. This seems to be an ongoing trend in television advertising; doing commercials with quirky storylines that I suppose are intended to be funny or entertaining, and hoping the advertise the product solely off a "quirky" commercial. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Microsoft should've left it alone.
An interesting and possibly useful concept. I can't imagine some of the furniture, particularly the bed and chairs, being all that comfortable or practical as foldable material, though. But then again I haven't tried it myself.
Seth Godin: When you stand for something
Another example of a lesson in everyday life applying to the world of design and business. You are seen as much more respectable when you make a clear stance on something and stick to it, rather than bending your own rules for the sake of trying to make everyone happy. This concept in the long run is impossible and unattainable, so it is better to know your limits in certain cases and stick to it.
